2nd Grade

2nd Grade Teachers

I'm so excited to start my fourteenth year of teaching here at Sawnee Elementary! I graduated in 2004 from North Georgia College with a B.S. in Early Childhood & Special Education. I live in Forsyth County with my husband, Branon, and three beautiful kids, Jackson, Addy, and Weston. I'm looking forward to another great school year!

Welcome! I am excited to be teaching second grade this year. I taught second grade in 2002 when I began my teaching career. My family and I have lived in NY, NH and GA. We are glad that we have settled down in Forsyth County. I have a son who attends Sawnee and a daughter who attends Liberty Middle. I look forward to meeting everyone.

This will be my 13th year teaching and my 2nd year at Sawnee Elementary. I graduated from NGCSU with a bachelor's in Psychology, earned my Early Childhood Certification from Brenau University, and received my master's degree in Reading and Literacy from Walden University. I am excited about another great year at Sawnee and making a difference in the life of children.

Welcome to Second Grade! This is my twelfth year teaching at Sawnee and my third year teaching second grade. I am originally from Long Island New York and I currently live in Cumming with my husband and two daughters, ages 3 and 6. I attended Florida Gulf Coast University and earned a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education. I also attended Mercer University and earned a master’s degree in early childhood education. I look forward to a fun-filled fantastic school year in 2017-18!

My name is Brandi Ray, and I love being a teacher! I graduated with honors from Kennesaw State University with a reading endorsement. When I am not teaching I am spending time with my husband and my two children who are ages ten and seven. I am very excited to teach second grade again this year.

Welcome to Second Grade! I recently graduated from the University of North Georgia in Dahlonega with a dual certification and a reading endorsement. While this is my first year teaching, I am also attending Piedmont College to obtain my Masters Degree. I truly believe that teaching is the most incredible and most rewarding profession. I am so incredibly excited and blessed to be a part of the Sawnee Team!

Welcome to 2nd grade y'all! This will be my 8th year teaching and my 2nd year at Sawnee. I love spending time outdoors with my husband, my son and our dog. Let's have a great school year!
